The discus throw ( pronunciation) is a track and field event in which an athlete throws a heavy disc—called a discus—in an attempt to mark a farther distance than his or her competitors. It is an ancient sport, as demonstrated by the fifth-century-B.C. Myron statue, Discobolus. Although not part of the modern pentathlon, it was one of the events of the ancient Greek pentathlon, which can be dated back to at least to 708 BC.
Discus is a routine part of most modern track-and-field meets at all levels and is a sport which is particularly iconic of the Olympic Games. The men's competition has been a part of the modern Summer Olympic Games since the first Olympiad in 1896. Images of discus throwers figured prominently in advertising for early modern Games, such as fundraising stamps for the 1896 games and the main posters for the 1920 and 1948 Summer Olympics.
The discus was re-discovered in Magdeburg, Germany, by Christian Georg Kohlrausch and his students in the 1870s. His work around the discus and the earlier throwing techniques have been published since the 1880.

Who is the person that everyone knows?
She seems to live her life so naturally
An angel in the guise of something else
What lies behind those eyes in mystery?
A wealth of secrets
A light in a dream
I'd like to know what they mean
A haunted voice from a ghost like face
I hope and pray that it won't end
The light is fading you're not the one in your eyes
The others follow in your disguise
Chorus
Who is the person that everyone knows?
She seems to live her life so naturally
An angel in the guise of something else
What lies behind those eyes in mystery?
A wealth of secrets
A light in a dream
